- 96 Tears / Question Mark and the Mysterians -

Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
You're way on top now, since you left me
You're always laughin', way down at me
But watch out now, I'm gonna get there
We'll be together, for just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you, way down here
And you'll start cryin' ninety-six tears
Cry, cry

And when the sun comes up, I'll be on top
You'll be way down there, lookin' up
And I might wave, come up here
But I don't see you, wavin' now
I'm way down here, wonderin' how
I'm gonna get you, but I know now
I'll just cry, cry, I'll just cry

Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on

You're gonna cry,  ninety-six tears
You're gonna cry,  ninety-six tears
You're gonna cry,  cry, cry, cry, now
You're gonna cry,  cry, cry, cry

Ninety-six tears  c'mon and lemme hear you cry, now
Ninety-six tears, whoo, I wanna hear you cry
Night and day, yeah, all night long
Uh, ninety-six tears cry, cry, cry

C'mon baby, let me hear you cry now, all night long
Uh, ninety-six tears, yeah, c'mon now
Uh, ninety-six tears.
